ServiceIQ has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

Date new versions published October 2014

Planned review date December 2018

Summary

This is the third stage of the review of all unit standards in the Aeronautical Engineering subfield. The review was undertaken in consultation with the Aeronautical Engineering industry to ensure the standards’ relevance, as the technology associated with aircraft has become more sophisticated.

Main changes

· Outcomes, evidence requirements, range statements, explanatory notes and some titles were updated to reflect the needs of the aeronautical engineering industry and be in line with international regulatory requirements.

· The prerequisites for standards 4084-4097 were removed.

· Standards 3965, 3966, and 22519 were designated expiring and will not be replaced.

· Levels were changed to better reflect the content of the unit standards.

· Credits were changed to better reflect the time taken for learning and assessment.

· Standard setting body details were updated following the merger of the Aviation, Tourism and Travel Training Organisation, Hospitality Standards Institute and Retail Institute to form ServiceIQ.

The last date for assessment of the superseded versions of these standards is 31 December 2016. Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of the superseded version of the standard.

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2018

Impact on Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR)

None.

Impact on registered qualifications

Key to type of impact

Affected

The qualification lists a reviewed classification (domain or subfield) in an elective set

The qualification lists a standard that has changes to level or credits

The qualification lists a C or D category standard

Not materially affected

The qualification lists a standard that has a new title

The qualification lists a standard that has a new classification

The following ServiceIQ qualification is impacted by the outcome of this review and will be updated when it is reviewed as part of the Targeted Review of Qualifications process. The standards that generated the status Affected are listed in bold.

Ref	Qualification Title	Classification or ID
0742	National Certificate in Aeronautical Engineering (Aircraft Manufacture) (Level 4)	4009, 4028, 4029, 4034

Detailed list of unit standards – classification, title, level, and credits

All changes are in bold.

Key to review category
A	Dates changed, but no other changes are made - the new version of the standard carries the same ID and a new version number
B	Changes made, but the overall outcome remains the same - the new version of the standard carries the same ID and a new version number
C	Major changes that necessitate the registration of a replacement standard with a new ID
D	Standard will expire and not be replaced
